Re: Consequences of the UK leaving Europe
and of those laws, we have a say in them and in fact are key contributors, eg human rights legislation. I know in my industry (pharmaceuticals) unpicking the legislation will be very "interesting". We're leaders in thinking and the European Medicines Agency is headquartered in London. We're facing becoming the equivalent of Norway and Iceland in that industry instead.
Of course if we want to continue trading with the EU bloc we will have to meet those specs anyway.

Our schools are clearly deficient, and people are vulnerable to being manipulated. It's very depressing.

Is there going to be a shortage of Wensleydale? Is there a US-UK cheese import agreement?
